    Knowing that you purchased this coin and that it's likely a POP TOP, I'm going to say it's a 67. Hope I'm right because it's gorgeous. image

    Ok, well atleast it was a plausible guess. image

    66 is still a super grade for the coin. It looks like a strong 66 IMO

    Looks 66 almost 67 One of the top key dates in the series and is most righteous.

    I'm curious as to what the black crap is on the wing?

    If it is on the coin as it appears to be, would/could this be the copper reacting that is mixed in with the gold?

    Thanks

    It's a VERY strong MS66. (Mr. CAC agreed!)

    Nice job.

    There's no black "crap" on the wing. That's Heritage's camera.....just wait until Mike Printz gets hold of this one. It will photo beautifully. It's all satiny and rose colored.

    When I scored my MS65 from Steve Duckor I thought that was the biggest coin I would get. Heritage has never sold an MS65, and I think they have only had one MS64! This is still hard to believe.

    Oh do I love buying when stuff is on sale.image

    That looks like a very nice 66! I have seen many saints that are overgraded lately. It's nice to see one that is strong for the grade for a change.

    Thanks guys,

    This coin has quite a provenance. Ex Norweb/Thane Price.

    Those kind of coins were untouched treasures, and to be the caretaker of this for my time is more like an honor!
